NY Knicks guard JR Smith, is playing some of the best overall basketball of his career, and he has his personal self-control to thank. Normally known for having incredible talent, but being immature and inconsistent, it seems Smith is ready to embrace being a professional in New York. Read more after the jump.

?I?m not going to lie. The New York City nightlife pretty much got to me. I was going out pretty much every other night and not focused on the task at hand,? a candid Smith told reporters in San Antonio after the Knicks? morning shootaround.
Said Smith: ?Every day I?m getting into the gym, getting in as much work as I can. A lot of times previously in my career, I had negative energy coming into the gym, not wanting to be there, joking around, goofing off. This year, it?s been more serious. I understand every road trip we take is a work trip, not just a play trip. You come and work hard. If I work hard, maybe the next guy will see me work hard.?
His teammates have also noticed the change. Tyson Chandler said:
He?s so locked in and focused this year, He?s a different player. He?s really matured and he?s really buying into what coach is preaching, and it?s been a big help.?
As a Knicks fan, I can only hope this new found level of maturity and focus is here to stay for Smith.
